As part of the Xacra collection, the Chalibe uses a technique that dates back to the first century, during the era of the Romans in Hispania. To create the Xacra collection we partnered with the last artisan alive who still masters this technique, preserving the craft and preventing this art from extinction. The artisan respects the original technique and the same indigenous clays as his ancestors to maintain the characteristic texture and finish.

Chalibe is the ancient Roman name for the river Cabe, the undiscovered river that carves the narrowest canyons in the Ribeira Xacra region from where the technique originates. Chalibe, despite its size, is the most emblematic piece in the collection. Alone to give character and set the final detail of any space or with the other pieces of the collection, it always stands out.
This piece is alive and wears the story of its age. The resin used in the interior is a natural product that ages developing a gorgeous finish over time. It is called patina, the same as for leather, and is developed thanks to the sun, climate, and age. It will crack over time and lose its initial brightness, giving the appearance of skin. Direct sunlight accelerates the process of aging. Aging depends on each situation, is normal, and a part of the innate beauty of the piece. If used with water, make sure to clean inside periodically. To clean the pieces wipe with a soft, dry cloth. In case the piece needs to be washed, carefully handle it by hand and use only cold water. Do not use any abrasive household cleaners. Let the piece air-dry.
